composed of spontaneously contracting cardiac muscle fibers
coronary arteries
Myocardium blood supply comes from the ?
2, atria
how many and what do you call the heart’s upper chambers

receive blood from veins
ventricles
Atria sends blood to ?
2, Ventricles
how many and what do you call the heart’s lower chambers
Ventricles
thick walled
Ventricles
receive blood from atria
Ventricles
pump out blood through arteries
Septum
wall that divides heart into right and left halves
Chordae tendinea
Cord-like tendons
heart strings
Chordae tendinea is simply the ?
Chordae tendinea
prevent inversion of valve
Chordae tendinea
connect papillary muscles to tricuspid and mitral valves
Papillary muscles
small muscles that anchor the cords

enumerate the process of blood circulation
Circulation
Blood flow through the circuit of vessels
Systemic circulation
it is the blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta, other arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins to the right atrium of the heart
Pulmonary circulation
it is the blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery to lung arterioles, capillaries and venules, and veins, to left atrium
Hepatic-portal circulation
unique circulatory system
Hepatic-portal circulation
the capillary beds of the liver and the small intestine/spleen, allowing for the mixing of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood before draining into the hepatic vein
arterial wall
pulse can be felt because of the elasticity of ?
Pulse
alternate expansion and elastic recoil of blood vessels caused by intermittent ejections of blood from heart into aorta with each ventricular contraction

elastic
Arteries are very ?
capillaries
Arteries connect to ?
Arteries
withstand greater blood pressure

largest artery
Veins
have valves
Vena cava
the largest vein
Veins
usually carry deoxygenated blood
Veins
can stretch a great deal
capillaries
Veins transport blood away from ?
Veins
carry blood towards heart
atria
Veins take blood to ?
Veins
thinner vessel walls with less smooth muscles
Capillaries

Capillaries
only 1 cell thick
epithelial cell
Capillaries is made of ?
Capillaries
connect arteries to veins
Capillaries

Capillaries
where blood is under low pressure and moving slowly
Capillaries
removes CO2, urea and other wastes from cells
